The GTX 780Ti also is ready for 3D displays, it can drive 4K monitors or multiple monitors at 2560x1600/2560x2440 and is supported by Nvidia's GeForce Experience which automatically optimizes your games for optimum performance.

The recently announced NVIDIA G-SYNC is fully supported and removes tearing and input lag. Streaming your games to a NVIDIA SHIELD gaming console allows you to play your PC games on Nvidia's portable console. And ShadowPlay is provided to automatically capture your gaming moments.
